We had quite a few firsts for us in our business this year and one of those was our first Christmas wedding!!  We love Christmas and definitely think it is the perfect time of year to celebrate love and marriage!  It is basically straight out of a Hallmark movie and we all know that I am all about that life.

Before you start looking at this gorgeous wedding, let me warn you that it is on photo overload – but for good reason!!  This is definitely the most photos I have ever put in a blog post.  I had so many more I wanted to add but I held back a little.  That just means Shawn & Stacy will have an even better time looking through their full gallery at all the obvious AND hidden gems (their reception photos are insane!).

Everyone who had a wedding in Virginia on Saturday knows that it was literally the perfect day for a wedding! Fall has hit and the air had a crispness to it. The leaves are changing and falling, giving the perfect backdrop for photos. Beyond that – we got to celebrate on this perfect day with such a wonderful couple!! There were tears of joy and so much laughter! If you know Clare & Geordie, you know how fun they are and their wedding wasn’t anything short of a great time.

I can still remember the first time I met Cory & Lindsey…it was over coffee at Starbucks last winter and I immediately just loved them!  I know that sounds cliche.  Of course I did, or else I wouldn’t have booked them!  But I called my husband as I was pulling out of the parking lot to tell him “We are going to really like these two!”  Their excitement to get married and how much they loved each other was obvious!

Fall wedding season has officially started for us over here and we were thrilled to kick it off with Melissa & Cody!  I first got to hang out with these two at their engagement session, which was at the same farm they held their reception.  Cody’s family owns and operates a lot of farmland in Dinwiddie.  I don’t know if you remember that night my life changed when I saw a calf be born but it was with Cody & Melissa.  Even more little calves were walking around this weekend at the farm.  Melt my heart!

The forecast for this past Saturday called for thunderstorms all day.  We were all certain we were in for a super rainy wedding day.  The dark gray clouds filled the sky when we pulled up the church, but with in 20 minutes, they were gone…and they never returned!! We started the day in Petersburg at […]

We moved to Prince George about 3 years ago. This county is very large with lots of farmland, and we love that about it! If you look at it on a map, you might not think this, but it is very “small town”. People are so polite and willing to help whenever they can. We […]

If there is one thing I have learned this past year of business, it is that you should always be learning!  Even when you think you know it all (which I definitely do not), there is always something else you can learn.  I have made it a point to educate myself, whether that is through […]

Most of the time you may hear people say something along the lines of “their love is like a fairytale”.  In the case of Gigi & Mickey, I find that very true but I ALSO believe that their love it something out of a musical!   The entire day felt like a real life musical […]

There is not a more fitting week for this wedding to have taken place than the week of Independence Day.  Evan & Sydney had a beautiful wedding at Evan’s family’s home church, we took pictures at a local plantation home, then celebrated for the rest of the evening at the Lee Club on Fort Lee.  We had only ever met Sydney & Evan through a FaceTime call, back in the winter, but we had never met in person due to them living in other states.   They are the type of people that make you instantly feel like you are friends with them!  Their friends are the same way, so the entire day was so much fun!
